What is Holy Fire Reiki?

What is Holy Fire Reiki?

A new form of Reiki evolved out of Usui Reiki and was introduced by the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT) in 2014. It was called Holy Fire Reiki. Since then, it continued to evolve to what we offer today, Holy Fire II. Holy Fire Reiki does not have a religious meaning as such but, a meaning that is 'whole'. It is a spiritual energy which in its 'wholeness' provides purification, healing, empowerment, and guidance.

Gentle yet powerful, this highly refined energy softly heals body, mind, heart, and spirit at all levels, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual, for balance and well-being. Noticeably, Holy Fire energy, when applied, may offer the sensation of feeling loved, cradled, a soft, warm glow from the inside the body outwards. Although this energy is actively present in Reiki Levels I and II, it is indistinguishably noticeable at the higher levels of Advanced Reiki Training (ART) and Master Teacher/Practitioner.

Works continuously even when not thinking about it and spontaneously heals issues as they come up

Always respects free will.

Heals deeply and quickly without distress.

Heals relationships and interactions with others.

Releases worry and replaces it with a sense of safety in a most pronounced way.

Spontaneously provides guidance that is palatable for every level of life experience.

Tends to develop all the personality traits that are healthy for a person to have such as love of self and others, kindness, patience, confidence, vitality, enthusiasm, optimism, trust, joy, peace, and so forth.

One of the more wonderful effects is a feeling of being loved. This is a deep and refined feeling that is very nurturing.

Once received, it continues to develop itself to be more evolved and effective.

"As a Reiki teacher, I have found this method frees the student to explore and discover the energy activation process in their own way. It can be a powerful experience!"​​ Reana Selody Joubert

With a foundation in the application of the four Usui Reiki symbols, Holy Fire II activation processes have been transformed from previous Attunements to 'Placements' in the first three level classes. 'Ignitions' are used to activate the Holy Fire II energy in the Master class. In these classes, the teacher gently guides the activation of the energy through guided meditations then allows the energy to empower the student. With this process, the teacher's energy is not intermingled as the Holy Fire II energy comes directly from Source. There is no teacher physical interaction with the student during Placements and Ignitions. More information can be found at the International Center for Reiki Training website. ​

It is important to note that Dr. Usui's system of teachings and techniques remain a constant in Holy Fire II classes. Placements, Ignitions, and the meditative Experiences plus the Holy Fire energy are the new additions to traditional/Western Usui Reiki.
